If you like casinos...that is the place!

This is one of the most gorgious cities in the world. Tropical yet modern and very peaceful!!! Not only do i say this because I was born there but you should really go check it out some day!!

Buy Jewelry in the reputable stores... but do some shopping at home first.. want to make sure you ARE getting a good buy

The Santa Ana Church in Noord has a handcarved wood (oak, I believe) altar. Gorgeous!

Wear sun block or sun tan lotion with a spf higher than 30 or you will roast and end up in the hospitial (Not fun at all)

You must try the America's cup race here it fabulous! Don't forget your sunscreen though as the sun is very hot and you will burn quick! Plus check out the French side of the island too!

Get off the beach for a day and visit the island's only national park: Arikok National Park on the rugged northern coast. Take a jeep or try hiking one of the many trails (but if you plan on hiking: take water, a hat/cap and sunblock!

just the beach, again. and the colorful houses

Aruba is a boring stripmall transplanted from Minnesota or Iowa to the caribbean. I only go through there in transit to Maracaibo myself, and while I have overnighted several times, I am just amazed at why tourists from middle america would go to an overpriced TGI Fridays or Hooters in the Caribbean when they could just as easily do that at home... I guess they lie the square coins and do not mind that the government protected the murderers of that American high school girl...

The Renaissance Aruba offers guests the choice of staying in its cityside hotel (casino, few kids, infinity pool) or across the street at its newer property on the beach. No matter where you sleep, as a guest you have access to the hotel's private island, a good place to swim, sun, snack, and have a spa massage.
